Dollar kicks higher versus yen, euro

The U.S. dollar is trading up 0.8 percent versus the Japanese yen at 120.05, helped by comments from Japanese officials overnight that recent yen strength was not desirable. Against the euro, falling consumer confidence in the eurozone contributed to a 0.3 percent gain by the dollar to $1.0433. Despite the day's gains, the dollar is down 2.8 percent versus the yen and 3.3 percent versus the euro in the last month.
